Special features of the organization

Established in 1919, the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) is one of the oldest philanthropic institutions in India, and has played a pioneering role in changing traditional ideas of charity. It was established through a corpus of Rs. 8.1 million - a princely sum in those days - in accordance with the will of Sir Ratan (the younger son of Jamsetjee Tata). Over the past 80 years, the Trusts have built a systematic agenda across the country, tying in with organizations and individuals to design and implement solutions to problems in issues as varied as Urban Poverty, Livelihoods, Natural Resource Management, Arts, Crafts and Culture, water, agriculture, education, health and sanitation. , , Now, with the changing focus, there is greater involvement in areas like microfinance, market development, delivery systems and data management. Along with this, the Trusts are endeavouring to ensure the incorporation of the following facets in all future engagements; namely: (a) scalability of the interventions; (b) measurable impact; and (c) sustainability of the community served, post withdrawal of the Trusts support. , , Currently, the Trusts work is spread across 170 districts in 17 states of the country, touching the lives of over 800,000 households through interventions that include drinking water and sanitation, health and nutrition, agriculture, education, arts, crafts and culture and skill development. Programmes of the Trust have seen the disbursal of Rs. 1.48 billion (US $ 24.74 million) during the last financial year. These funds include collaboration with government and non-governmental programmes, and have a multi-fold impact on the ground.
